I still have room for one additional client apiece at both Mugenkidou(11/15) in Hiroshima and Hospital GoGo (11/22) back here in Osaka. If you want to get tattooed at the event, drop me a line.
無限軌道（１１月１５日）とHOSPITAL GOGO（１１月２２日）のイベントで入れたい人、後一人ずつぐらいいけるのでなるべく早めに連絡下さい。よろぴくぅ！
来週の無限軌道イベントの為、フラッシュをサインしている。４０枚しかなし、多分イベントで売切なので欲しい人がなるべく早めに連絡ください。おいとくからね！１枚は￥５０００。（チャリティーを目的として販売し、売り上げはHIDEROWさんのファミリーに）
Signing that boatload of flash for Hori-Hiderow’s memorial event next week – Mugenkidou 5(11/15). There’s only 40 of these things and I expect they’re gonna fly at the event so if you want your name on one, hit me up right away and I’ll tuck it away for you. JPY5000 (all proceeds to benefit his surviving family)
描き方の順番に興味ある人の為、この画像をどうぞ。タトゥーフラッシュの場合は分かりやすいけど。まずちっちゃくアイデアをいっぱい描いて、好きなやつを選んでからコピー機で拡大して、綺麗にラフを書き直す。そしてライトボックスで水彩用紙に写して（もう一回ペンで描き直す事）水彩絵具で塗る。
Once and awhile folks ask a bit about my process – which for flash is pretty straightforward but for interested parties, here’s a few of my prelim sketches.

Hospital GOGO vol.7 ５周年 GO!GO!GO!７!!＠CLUB PURE（大阪）
2009年11月22日（日）
INKSPOT 1977から帰って来たとこ。アートやグラフ好きが多くてめっちゃえぇパーティやったわ。
Just got back from Ink Spot a few hours ago… the party raged all through the night. At some point I think every level of the downtown building was balls-to-butts with wall-art aficionados.
ギャラリー現場はすごい感じやった。コラボの新作、新しい材料の実験、作品になりかけDJブースも本当にイベントのプラスになっていた。
CASPER, JOTA, KE-1, ZYS were all in rare form at the reception. New collaborations, material experimentation, and even a DJ booth that doubled as an installation really punctuated an already talent-packed show.
私の話より、写真の方がおもろいんでチェックしてくださいね！
I could talk about it all day, but I’ll let some of the event photos speak for themselves.
お知らせ：先週、僕はやっとSLRのカメラをゲットしたんで色々実験して撮ってみたんだが…機会の動きに全然慣れていなくて上手く撮れなくて申し訳ないが。よろしキュ！
Full disclosure: I finally got an SLR this week so all these photos are the result of an amateur masquerading as a pro.
DJブースにダミーカメラが付いていて、ちゃんと動いていてえぇ雰囲気やった！
The DJ booth was fashioned out of pipes, corregated cardboard, and foliage to mimic a typical Osakan abandoned lot. Littered with tags and complete with a moving dummy camera – they really nailed it! The booth filled the whole rear of the room and really made the environment.
ピンストでHELLOシールを描いているのは初めてみたゎ！
When’s the last time you saw someone pin-stripe a “Hello, my name is” sticker?
They’re at it again – some of Japan’s finest graffiti virtuosos (All born in the same year – 1977!) are at it again featuring a two part gallery – Yokohama in the East and Osaka in the West! 4 amazing artists – a single generation:
CASPER / JOTA / KE-1 / ZYS
For those of us fortunate enough to live in the Kansai region, the opening party is October 24th. Do I see a rooftop BBQ in our future? I sure as hell hope so!
TEH BASIC INFOS:
Reception Party: 10月２４日 @ 21:00
Location: Downtown Bldg. 2F
Normal Gallery Hours: 13:00~21:00
画像はちっちゃすぎて読みにくくて、すみません〜！詳しい情報はこちら！
A proper description – too small to read! More Details HERE!The Japanese blog-o-sphere has been abuzz with reports of the Yokohama turnout – don’t miss your chance to witness firsthand the skill level to which these artists have risen today.
オリジナルポスターも発売中！エキシビション記念ポスター（A2サイズ）はZAKAIと一二三屋にて発売してそう。とてもえぇ用紙に印刷されていて、シンプルな白黒デザイン、立派なプリントや！
These are the event posters printed on heavy duty high quality stock. Simple. Clean. Beautiful.
They’ll only be available from Zakai and Hifumiya (same floor as the Osaka event space)
今夜はMORTAL COMBAT！
Mortal Combat kicks off again tonight!

今年LOUD PARKは東京だけなのでHEAVY ROCKが好きな関西の人ならこのイベントはおすすめや！
Couldn’t make Loud Park in Tokyo? Than this is the event for you!
今回のフライヤーのイラストはベン作や！
Also, I did the artwork for the flyer this month, so there you go.
Ashes to ashes, stardust to stardust. It is hard to believe that half a year has passed since my comrade Hiderow completed his journey in our world and rejoined the universe. Even though it has taken those of us who knew and loved him some time to resign ourselves to the idea that we shall not meet him again in this space and time, we are thankful for the legacy that Hiderow left behind – through his life and by extension, his art.
Now the time has come to celebrate that legacy in full force.
Mugenkidou (loosely translated to “the boundless road”) November 15th, 2009 in Hiroshima City. A plethora of talent from all over Japan will be performing live music, DJing, and of course our lifeblood – tattooing.
A veritable tour de force of artists will be in attendance – if you’re in the Hiroshima area and you’ve been waiting to get a piece from a favorite artist far away this might just be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Don’t take my word for it – check out the lineup for yourself!
日付：１１月１５日（日曜日）
場所：Club China Town
OPEN：１６：２０
START：１７：００
前売り：￥３０００
当日：￥４０００
Special Note! – For those interested, I can still fit in one more piece (or a few small ones) into my schedule at the event -drop me a message from the contact form – cheers!
